Re: [Texascavers] Texas attendees to NSS Conv ?
I will save you all some money. I can't go this year. I have lost my mojo - probably for good. The drive to Albuquerque last year nearly killed me. I am in worse physical and mental shape now than I was then. On a related note to Montana: I lived near Boseman, Montana in a remote forest-ranger camp in the spring of 1970 for at least 2 months ( Marcsh & April ? ). I was hoping to drive around Boseman and look for anything familiar. The very fuzzy tiny memory is a thick forest and hills mostly covered in deep snow, and once riding a snowmobile, etc. That was a very *#% time in my life, but I became a lifetime fan of Smokey Bear while I was there. We also visited Yellowstone just before coming home. That very brief Yellowstone Park visit is the only memory I have of my biological father and mother together - certainly, the only one with just the three of us. Also, I toured Louis & Clark Caverns about December, 1969, and so began my interest in things like caves. I had little to no exposure to the outdoors prior to that ( meaning my toddler years - late 60's ). You all have a safe trip. I know it will be fun.

He should save money and not do this.

Whats in Nebraska that I might want to see on the way back. I'been to Boot Hill in Kansas. Maybe see the cave in OK. Name escapes me at this moment.Have the week off after the convention.

Gonna due it in one shot, or at least try. LATTER !

Re: [Texascavers] Texas attendees to NSS Conv ?
David, as our NSS Pres Geary said to me "cheapest flight is Southwest to Spokane". I checked, he is correct. I booked flight and rental car. No obsessing needed if you do that right now. Unless of course you like that part.
